If I review you, review back! PLEASE! Thanks.

I hate romance stories, unless they're comedic, too; I hate fantasy stories; I hate mystery stories (except the Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon); I hate sci-fi stories, and stories set in "2016" or something like that. I love stories set in the 1950's; I love stories about war and family ties; I hate stories written in journal-form. I guess I just don't like many genres. I like only a few things, because they remind me of life. I like reading about life, because I like imagining I'm in someone else's position. I love the onomatopoeia "kerplunk", though it's actually not a word, which means it isn't onomatopoeia. But oh well.

In the past two years (grades eight and nine) I had teachers who helped become very well-rounded in my work. I had the opportunity to experiment with a lot of good things last semester like journals, stories, poems, reviews and news articles. I had always seen news articles as my weak point, but by focusing on the task at hand I pulled out a 92.5 on the assignment (not my highest, but better than I thought). I think that everyone should get this opportunity.

Status:
Reading: The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck (it's a Good Book, go read it. And I'm sorry my humour is so lame.)

Writing: Colder (chapters 1 & 2 complete, putting off starting chapter 3)
- I changed the name again! Or, at least, I would, if this stupid site would let me see my stories! It's really pissing me off. This is still going on, but I changed it at school today. Grr. Wow, it's 6:55 PM right now. I could write some of that story. Guess what--I finally figured out what I'm gonna do with it! Yes!
- This is getting silly. All I've written for chapter three is the first half of a quotation (") and then I backspaced it--great.
- I have written one paragraph and a half of the third chapter. Finally, there has been (a minimal amount of) progress! Hurrah!

Misc.:
I was just informed via FictionPress e-mail that I got a new (anonymous) review. I thought, okay, that's great! I opened the e-mail and checked what it said. Some stupid bastard told me that not only my poem, but all of my work sucks. I deleted the review because I don't want that kind of blatant rudeness. If you have something to say, like, "Change this line", or whatever, go ahead. But if you're going to tell me that I can't write you'd better just forget about it.
For the time being, seeing as I'm really depressed by that, I would just like to say that I won't be writing (or, rather, posting) anything because I don't know what people will say. And as of now, anonymous comments have been disabled. Because if a really stupid member on the site tells me I suck, then I can send them a long, angry e-mail. Okay.
UPDATE on this situation: I am no longer upset about it and I have officially enabled anonymous reviews again. I don't feel the need to hide myself from anyone or anything. Please don't flame me anymore, because this is something I take very seriously (well, I don't take poetry seriously) but writing is not only my craft or art, it is my entire life. Please understand this, because one day I vow to become a famous and very prominent writer.
